Context Silent pituitary adenomas are anterior pituitary tumors with hormone synthesis but
without signs or symptoms of hormone hypersecretion. They have been increasingly …

Giant pituitary adenomas comprise about 6–10% of all pituitary tumors. They are mostly
clinically non-functioning adenomas and occur predominantly in males. The presenting …

Non-functioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumors do not cause endocrine symptoms related
to hypersecretion of adenohypophyseal hormones and are clinically characterized by …

Background and aims Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are a rare
entity, occurring in one per million people. We performed a systematic review of 535 adult …

Inappropriate secretion of TSH was first described in 1960 in a patient with evidence of

They exist only in vertebrates but the genes encoding their subunits' ancestors are found in …

ABSTRACT Pituitary adenomas comprise approximately 10-20% of intracranial tumors. Non-
functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are benign adenohypophyseal tumors not …

Purpose TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare pituitary tumors. An efficient treatment is
essential to limit the mortality and morbidity in untreated patients. The aim of this study is to …
